Section 160 of the Planning and Development Act 2000, as amended (the Act), relating to unauthorised development, does not provide for a ministerial order in relation to environmental impact assessment. Section 30 of the Act specifically precludes the Minister from exercising any power or control in relation to any particular case with which a planning authority or An Bord Pleanála is or may be concerned.
